Shiraki Chiyo

"Nice to meet you! I'm Shiraki Chiyo. Don't ask, why I look like a ghost."

- Chiyo's Stage Introduction Catchphrase

Chiyo Shiraki (白木 千代) is a member of AKB0048's 152nd Generation and a member of AKB0048's Team K.

Chiyo is also known as Yoyo (よよ) and WhiteGhost. She's an anime and manga otaku and WOTA. In the internet, she's constantly using the username WhiteGhost refering her appearance. She's known for being quite lazy and having a low stamina. However, she's also known for being funny and varity-orientated.

Appearance
Chiyo is quite known for her appearance. She has shoulder length, smooth hair which is dyed into the colour white. Her eyes are silver and she has some not really visible heart-shaped light reflections in them. As well, another star-like reflection is visible. Her skin is very pale. Her hair is dyed and her eyes are using contacts. Her natural hair colour is a light brown hue and her eyes are actually turquoise.

Chiyo always wears white clothes. She believes that she doesn’t look good in other colours. Due to this, she’s mostly never seen with clothes with special pattern. Usually, she’s wearing her hair down. It doesn’t seem that she’s taking much care on her hair as the dying isn’t very good for her hair.

While the auditions for the 153rd Generation, she had purple hair. This was because Miyagi shot her while playing paintball.

Personality
In diffrent to her stamina, Chiyo's an outgoing and positive-thinking girl. She tends to comment things with sarcasm. In the beginning, Chiyo appeard rather cold towards other which changed quickly when she joined AKB0048. She tends to dream a bit about anime and manga - espacilly about Magical Girl. Chiyo adores them and wants to be like them.

Chiyo tends to think a bit too realistic, even though she has no problems with not-saying it. Due to this, she might appear arrogant.

Chiyo spends almost her full free time with aniem, manga, video games and the internet. She isn't interessted at sport at all and in the past years, she didn't do anything into this direction, causing her body to be very weak. She's quite good in changing her voice, even thought she isn't a great singer.

Chiyo is generally known to be very lazy and not a friend of fast songs. Thus, she holds a great dislike towards the fact that she's member of Team K. Ironicly, she is a front girl in the team and even centerd the first original song of the team. Her mind hasn't changed though and she constantly tries to get a transfer to Team A.

History
Chiyo never left Akibastar as she grew there up. Already as children, she loved anime and manga. She always dreamed about being a magical by herself. In the third year of elementary school, Chiyo had started spending her full free time with this and lost her friends who weren't interessted in that anymore. With the time, Chiyo developted plans which allowed her to stay home and learn there. She used a webcam to follow the lessons even though she was able to learn more as she wasn't distracted by others. This also caused her low stamina.

With 14, her parents started beliving that this couldn't turn out good for Chiyo and they wanted her to live regulary. But they needed a reason. As both of her parents were active WOTAs and knew that Chiyo liked 0048 too, they introduced her the idea of auditioning. Chiyo did so because she believed her chances to join to be at zero. She passed the first round.
